I read the book, and it's really good, but that was after watching the show and I still felt that this deserved a half rating. The show is great on it's own, but things fall through for me interest wise. I think it would have been a better show if they stayed with the book story line. They changed a lot of important key things that were in the book. At this point the only thing same thing is the very beginning of the first episode, after that it's just a show with the same names as the book, nothing else is the same, basically they should have just renamed everything and worked harder on the story line and characters then they have.

I loved this show, Sutton being a spoilt brat getting her own way at school and at home , while her sister Emma gets all the fosters homes to go to, when they meet I was laughing that the fact when Emma had to act at Sutton that because Sutton is a evil and spoilt brat Emma changed her out to be a nice daughter and friend towards anyone even her enemies. + the secret bad boyfriend Ethan of Sutton was pretty amazing part of the first season knowing that even though Ethan and Sutton were close he never mentioned to Emma that she was secretly dating him. not only is ethan a hot boyfriend , also Thayer, madelines brother. adding to the point if you love this show, you can also recommend watching "pretty little liars" also a TV show about a bunch of teens with a big secret. i rated the lying game a 10/10 i hope you guys do to ! because even though it got cancelled i would still recommend to watch the 2 seasons that were created.

I don't believe I am providing any spoilers with this but honestly I doubt it could spoil any worse than it already is. But just in case I've tagged this with the spoiler flag.For those of you who have never watched an episode of the Lying Game - prepare to be....bored. The entire show is based around a set of twins who were separated at birth by unfortunate circumstances. They grow up in completely different environments - one in foster care, the other by rich parents. By some means of event they are connected, determine they are related, and then decide to live as one another.And no one figures it out.That's right. No one. Best friends, parents, teachers, no one. Btw - the rich one is a total jerk to people. The foster child is humbled comparatively. And yet no one starts to question the overnight change in personality, clothing tastes, behavior, writing style, or academics. Things that completely stump adult spies with years of intensive training in counter intelligence and deep cover techniques somehow are overcome by adolescents with "a plan" to figure it all out.The Lying Game is terrible. The things that would totally tear apart their "game" are the exact things glossed over in the show. There is more to this than them simply living as one another but as a parent I'd know if my kid was suddenly someone different. This show relies heavily on anyone who should figure this out being completely oblivious.Had this some how been explained this show might be bearable.

Unlike some of the reviewers, I have not read any of the books, so I have started watching this series with no expectations. Since I was already a fan of Pretty Little Liars, I thought I would give this show a chance. I'm gland I did. I have seen the first three shows, and I'm hooked. I love the mystery and the characters. There are already characters I'm cheering for and characters I don't like. But even the ones I don't like have added a richness to the show that makes it even more credible. All of the actors seem to be talented and there is a chemistry that is a must for a show to succeed. I recommend the the Lying Game. It looks as if you have one of the best shows of the new season. Good luck.
